super easy and delish dinner.

I recently came across this recipe from Gwyneth Paltrow's weekly newsletter called GOOP.  I made it last week and it comes out looking just like the picture above and tasting amazing.

Chicken Paillard

• 2 chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons of flour
• olive oil to coat skillet
• half a lemon
• salt & pepper
• 1 avocado, sliced (optional)

1. Place the cutlets between two pieces of parchment paper, cling wrap, or plastic. Grab a heavy pan and pound the cutlets with the bottom until they are about a quarter of an inch thick. Season the cutlets with salt, pepper and a light dusting of flour. Coat the bottom of a skillet with olive oil and bring to medium high heat. Cook cutlets about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through, but not dry. Plate the chicken and dress with lemon.

2. Place sliced avocados over or on the side of the chicken.

3. Spoon simple salad over the top.
